Canadian Optometrist, Dr. Nana Owusu, is someone that brings an incredibly unique perspective. Along with his wife, he owns a number of optometric practices. He is a product of African parents, from Ghana, and this Story follows his journey from Canada to optometric education in Illinois, and back to his family and practice life in Canada.
Dr. Owusu is committed to improving the profession of optometry and that includes driving improved diversity, equity, and inclusion for people of color. In this Interview Story, I make my own admissions about how I have had to grow as a human to become better at tolerance.
Due to my time with Nana, he has made me a better person. In your time watching or listening to this Sandbox Story, I hope you will, too.
